Select this option to display the Mail Slot Access screen (Figure 41). This option provides access to a mail slot while the library remains powered up. Note that a mail slot is reserved for the first tape cartridge slot in a left-hand magazine, and can be password protected or fully disabled. If the mail slot is disabled, this menu button is absent. On four-drive models, solenoids restrict access to the selected mail slots.
